Calling tips

Keep numbers handy: Botswana numbers are 8 digits after the country code (+267).
Test connection: Make a short test call to confirm audio quality before important conversations.
Use WiFi when possible: Stable internet ensures clearer calls and consistent rates.
Check contact availability: Confirm mobile vs. landline to ensure your contact can receive the call.
Plan for weekends: Saturday–Sunday calls may face slightly higher network load; weekday calling is often more reliable.

Business etiquette

Schedule calls in advance when possible, respecting both parties' working hours.
Use formal greetings in Setswana or English depending on your relationship.
Keep initial calls brief; longer conversations are best scheduled during quieter times.
Be clear about the purpose of your call at the beginning.
